The ICK #12

[Sir Lancelot]

"Oh, mate, I was getting railed last night!"

Ok, cool, but why are you telling me?

 

[Catfan2]

People who take part in or watch St George’s day parades or events

Is that because you think they are all far right? Genuine question.

 

[Captainmouse]

My husband does a thing.
The thing he does gives me the ick.

When a musician or actor he/we like dies, he essentially goes through their back catalogue for days.
He’s been wfh today and I’ve been off work sick; all I’ve heard all day is Sly and the Family Stone from I got up! Sly Stone died yesterday.

Be prepared for the beach boys

 

[BearOnChair]

Dublin specific... people who wear their Leap cards on a lanyard

Any lanyard outside of a mandatory work environment is an ick. I never get why people work around in the wild on their lunch breaks or after work with them on.

 

[Scotia]

A man drinking a matcha.

I have the ick from a colleague and it makes me feel bad because the person is lovely!
She lives at home, she’s mid thirties but that’s not the ick, it’s that she is the classic, lives at home so acts like a teenager. She talks about how she has arguments with her siblings but they sounds so ridiculous! Or about how she ‘went to her room’ to get away, the idea of an adult only having ‘their room’ just feels a bit childish and gives me the ick.
Lack of independence and ambition icks me out, so the way she talks about only being with her family and having nothing outside of that makes me see her as a child. She gets up on the weekend and sits on the sofa with her family, then they go out as a family, she comes home and relaxes with them. She only holidays with family and one of her siblings has a few kids and she is very very involved in this part of the family, to the point where it’s like she has nothing going on of her own, going to school pick up and admits pushing into conversations her sister has with the staff if she doesn’t like what’s being said. She isn’t interested in friends and even refuses to do anything with the colleagues when we have anything going on. It just feels like there is a teenager in the office. Sorry that’s long and sorry if it offends anyone, I needed to get it out! I recognise I’m being unfair so can’t say this to anyone as it is so mean!

she doesn't give me the ick, but it made me feel sad. I understand the part of living at home as things and economy can be very difficult, but the no friends/partner part and only having her family seems a bit unusual.

Admin guy walked into our office last week and said loudly, "HAPPY FRISKY FRIDAY, FOLKS!" and was met by silence.

I think atmosphere was actually vacuumed from the room.
He went quietly to his desk and spoke to nobody for the rest of the day.

You know he was playing that moment in his head all day... And all weekend. Poor sod. Let us know what he does tomorrow.

 

[Fledgling Psycho]

This! But “partner” is cringe too

One of my ex's used to introduce me as his "current partner". I suppose technically it was correct but at the time I thought it was a bit blunt.

 

[holliebollie]

We had a receptionst who did that on the wall of the ladies toilet.
I dread to think what their homes are like.

When I was younger, I helped my friend move her bedroom around and I kid you not, down behind her bed was like textured wallpaper with so many dried BOGEYS!!! We were probably 10/11 but I bet she still does it

 

[Bumblebee]

Not what this thread is for! I clicked on it to list my latest ick with dh and saw it’s more general, but him taking up capping instead of smoking and even worse holding the vape by clutching it with his whole fist and putting it to his mouth.

 

[Samf2020]

Bloke in my job wishes all "the girls in the office' a Happy Womens day. He doesnt see how bad it is calling grown women girls.

 

[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

Any woman over 15 wearing ankle socks and shoes.
Anyone over 15 who refers to their parents as Mummy and Daddy.

 

[GBNI]

STOP IT!

Hope you don’t live in NI as the 12th would be traumatic for you

 

[Michi]

My ick is where someone wears glasses and they obviously never clean them. Like you can see the smears on the glass and the grime on the nose bits

I clean mine once a day as a rule (and more often of necessary) but they still get smears. It really does happen so easily

 

[CherryAcid]

People who can't use a knife and fork give me the ick on a massive scale. Also people who cut up pasta (especially spaghetti) and scoop it up with a spoon. Bad table manners generally give me the ick, even if I see people on television with their elbows on the table, etc. it makes me want to vomit.

Omg people who hold their fork in their fist and shove it in their mouths! I too silently judge people with bad table manners. A friend's partner cuts up his food in the kitchen so he can just use a fork when he eats it and its weird as hell for me.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

When men wear those stretchy zigzag headbands.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Men who have wild nostril hair. He has just liked me on bumble

Gives you something to hold onto... *makes himself sick*

 

[qqwertyy]

Old men who walk around with their mouth hanging open looking bewildered.

 

[Islawight]

Men wearing camouflage cargo shorts. Are they going hunting on their knees?

 

[EvilJigglypuff]

A man who has put his foot into his shoe, but trodden down the back, so his heel is just hanging out
